Character Party You can do this kind of children's party two ways: either you choose a specific cartoon and revolve the party's theme around it, or you can hold a costume party of different characters. This child's party requires some level of preparation, but costumes are available for sale or rent everywhere, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Planning Your Child's Party Your little one's first birthday party is coming up and you want everything to be perfect. That's why as early as a few months, you're already at your wits end looking for the perfect entertainers and wracking your brain for the best theme to make his or her first celebration the most memorable ever. Kids are easy to please, so even a coloring book or a small box of crayons will do. Contrary to the usual impression, holding a children's birthday party is not really so expensive to pull off. With the right kind of entertainment, a little creativity, you will be able to come up with a party that will have everyone raving about it for days. You can simply rename and redecorate regular party fare, like spaghetti, burgers, hotdogs and cupcakes, to make them look and sound according to the theme you chose. If you have a Halloween party, for instance, you can renamed spaghetti into 'blood and guts'. (Don't worry. Most children are not usually squeamish with names. Make sure you inform your guests what kind of party you're throwing so they can bring their suits and a change of clothes. Animal Party You can rent out farm animals and bring them to your yard for the kids to pet, or you can ask your guests to bring in their own pets. This birthday party idea not only opens the kids' eyes to different kinds of animals, but also enhances their social skills. To make one, use a grocery bag garbed with nice and colorful ornaments and paper, and fill with various kinds of goodies and sweets. This game requires space and adult assistance, because it involves the use of a stick. Also, not all pinata goodies need to be edible. You can put in little toys and stickers, and other party favors, as well.
